GTCS stripe, keep or remove?
I would keep it. It's what sets the CS apart

I'd leave it. I have a black gt/cs myself and I also had an 08 white vert.
On the black the stripe is a very unique accent. I'm attaching a link to my car and you can see how the light effects how the stripe appears..or doesn't depending on the light. Scroll down to the pics on bottom of first page to see what I mean.

When I first got my 2009 vapor silver CS, I thought about losing the stripe. So glad that I kept it. Like the others posted, it really sets this particular Mustang apart from all the others. And yes the production numbers for the CS
are interesting. See the gtcsregistry. I know the stripe on the black CS is subtle, however I did see a black CS with a silver stripe. Found out it was a custom decal. Looked completely factory. Very sharp. Might be an idea to give it some more time and leave it for now until you know for sure.

I liked the way it looked but as far as appearance with my car it wasnt going to work with what im doing next. I'm having the rocker panels, front and rear valances painted to match the car then adding the roush side splitters and boss front splitter (but leaving those pieces black) next weekend. I can always add the stripe back if this doesnt turn out how im thinking too I also have a set of 20 inch boss 338 wheels im putting on too. After that and some windows louvers I should be set.

I'm thinking of one day maybe removing it and getting it custom painted on. In the case of "its just a CS" i can't believe there is so much hate inside a car community. Once i throw this kenne bell on mine i dare a GT500 to just roll up and say "its just a 5.0"....dang it he just dusted me off...lol!
